Tudor: Emotion, yes, but no offense
Posted Nov 8, 2009
A world of energy couldn't offset an offensive performance more like 1899 than 2009, a yawner that ranked as the lowest-scoring series game since 1977. And for all of the pregame hype, Duke fans hardly blew through the gates in anticipation of a memorable upset. According to Carolina officials, Duke was offered 4,300 tickets but took only 1,500 - a loud reminder that football is still far removed from rivaling the lure of Duke and UNC basketball.
